Purpose: To investigate the effects of phytosterols intake on systematic and tissue specific lipid metabolism in C57BL/6J mice. Methods: Healthy male C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into control d
Additional file 15: Table S11. Results of the associations between CpG sites and expression of transcripts of genes codifying for enzymes or proteins directly involved with lipoprotein metabolism. Res
Early- and late-onset forms of Alzheimer's disease (AD) share common features that include abnormalities in lipid metabolism, immune response and synaptic function. Of these, the role of lipids remain
Liver enriched gene 1 (Leg1) is a newly identified gene with few functional information. To know the function of Leg1 in mammals, a phylogenetic study was first conducted and indicated that Leg1 is an
Because germ-free (GF) mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity and malabsorb fat, we examined whether small bowel microbiota directly modulate host processes involved in lipid digestion and absorpt
